The Indiana Pacers fall to the Atlanta Hawks by 2 Points in a Preseason Game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse <\/strong> The Pacers played their first game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse this season on Saturday night, falling to the Atlanta Hawks in a preseason contest, 119-117. After playing just the first half of Wednesday’s preseason opener against Minnesota on the campus of Iowa State, Indiana’s starters played into the third quarter on Saturday. Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton was not available on Saturday. Head coach Rick Carlisle announced in his pregame press conference that Haliburton had sustained “a mild tweak of his right ankle” in Wednesday’s preseason game at Iowa State and was limited in practice on Friday. An MRI on his ankle was clean and Carlisle said the team is hopeful that Haliburton will return for either Tuesday’s preseason game at Oklahoma City on Friday’s preseason finale against Milwaukee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pascal Siakam and Kelly Oubre Jr. led seven Pacers in double figures on Saturday, finishing with 13 points apiece. Siakam added four assists in 22 minutes, while Oubre went 5-for-8 from the field and 3-for-5 from 3-point range. The Pacers made an early effort to get center Ivica Zubac the ball in the post. The 7-foot Croatian had four points and three rebounds early in Saturday’s contest, but also picked up two fouls. Indiana led by as many as seven points in the opening frame. The Hawks surged ahead late in the quarter thanks to a 9-1 run, but the Pacers scored the final four points of the quarter to take a 32-31 lead after one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were seven lead changes and one tie over the first 5:31 of the second quarter. Atlanta then reeled off 10 unanswered points (six by CJ McCollum and four from Onyeka Okongwu) to go up 55-46. The visitors remained in front for the remainder of the half, but Indiana closed the half strong. First, Siakam blocked Jalen Johnson at the rim, springing a break that finished with Andrew Nembhard finding Oubre for an open three. Then after Johnson made a pair of free throws with two seconds remaining in the half, Nembhard made full court pass to Siakam, who tipped the ball right to Aaron Nesmith, who buried a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from the right wing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana trailed 62-60 at the half. Both teams kept their starters in for the beginning of the third quarter. The Pacers’ first five tied the game twice on baskets by Oubre, but were unable to retake the lead before being subbed out for good down 78-74 with 6:30 remaining in the third quarter. The Hawks maintained their lead for the remainder of the frame, stretching the margin to 96-86 entering the fourth quarter. The Blue & Gold mounted a charge at the start of the fourth quarter, reeling off eight straight points, including back-to-back threes from Jay Huff and Jarace Walker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlanta never relinquished the lead, however. The Hawks led 114-105 with 2:25 remaining, but Indiana reeled off eight straight points to pull within one with 1:07 remaining. Former Pacers guard RayJ Dennis converted two free throws with 52 seconds left to push the margin back to three. After a timeout, Jalen Slawson drew a foul and made one of two free throws with 41.3 seconds remaining. Dennis found Zuby Ejiofor for a dunk on the other end, but rookie center Rienk Mast knocked down a corner three to cut the deficit to one. Indiana fouled Dennis with 15.2 seconds to play. He made the first, but missed the second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana had a chance to tie or win the game on the other end, but Braden Smith missed a jumper from the baseline, he secured the rebound and kicked back out to Slawson, but the buzzer expired before Slawson could get a shot off. His three after the buzzer banked in, but it didn’t count. Zubac had 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting, five rebounds, and two assists in 20 minutes of action. Obi Toppin scored 11 points off the bench, fellow reserve Walker added 10 points, seven boards, and three assists, while Nembhard tallied 10 points and three assists. Two-way forward Slawson scored all 12 of his points in the second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson led all scorers with 20 points on 8-of-12 shooting to go along with seven rebounds and three assists. Okongwu added 18 points for Atlanta, Aaron Wiggins contributed 13 points off the bench, and McCollum scored 12. The Pacers have two more preseason contests remaining. Indiana travels to Oklahoma City to take on the Thunder in a rematch of the 2025 NBA Finals on Tuesday, then closes out the exhibition slate by hosting Milwaukee at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Friday. The Blue & Gold will open the regular season on Oct. 21 in New Orleans. The home opener is two nights later against Dallas on Friday, Oct. 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fame Ijeboi powers Purdue University Football past Minnesota, 41-13<\/strong> \u00a0 Fame Ijeboi ran for a career-high 195 yards and three touchdowns to lead Purdue to a 41-13 win over Minnesota on Saturday night. Ijeboi, a Minnesota transfer who had 441 yards rushing last season as a redshirt freshman, averaged more than 6 yards per carry. Purdue coach Barry Odom described Ijeboi’s game as tremendous. \u201cHe\u2019s got the heart of champion,” Odom said. \u201cHe works every day as hard as he can to win. He cares about his teammates. He finishes runs going forward.\u201d’ Ijeboi credited the offensive line for his success. \u201cI couldn’t have done it without them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan Browne was 14-of-24 passing for 159 yards and a touchdown for the Boilermakers (3-3, 2-1 Big Ten) and added 81 yards rushing and a TD on seven carries. \u201cRyan got us in right looks, made the right checks,\u201d Odom said. \u201cHe ran the ball the well. He had a great night executing.\u201d Drake Lindsey, who had 248 yards passing for Minnesota (4-2, 2-1), connected with Jalen Smith for a 42-yard TD to trim Purdue\u2019s lead to 27-13 in the third quarter, but the Boilermakers answered when Browne rushed for a 12-yard TD early in the fourth quarter and after a muffed punt gave Purdue the ball on the Minnesota 10, Ijeboi’s 1-yard TD run on fourth down capped the scoring with 7:35 left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDefensively, we had a push and reestablished the line of scrimmage,” Odom said. \u201cWe tried to take away the run game and had success in that. “We made big time plays in the kicking game. When you do that and don’t turn the ball over, you put yourself in position to play winning ball. We played well in all three phases, which is great to see.\u201d The Boilermakers dominated in the first half, leading 20-3 at halftime. Jacobo Echeverria Lozano kicked a 45-yard field goal and a 15-yard TD pass from Browne to George Burhenn made it 10-0 going into the second quarter. After a 49-yard field goal by Minnesota\u2019s Luke Drzewiecki, Purdue answered with a 28-yard field goal and a 3-yard TD run by Ijeboi. Ijeboi’s 1-yard TD run pushed the lead to 27-3 early in the third quarter. \u201cThey dominated the game in pretty much every facet,\u201d Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck said. \u201cYou have to give them a ton of credit. We have to get a lot better. When you get beat in every single area and they play well in every area, the score is going to look like the score looked.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Minnesota It was a flat performance from the Gophers coming off a 20-14 win over visiting Michigan. Minnesota managed just 16 rushing yards in the first half and 25 on 12 carries overall. \u201cWe’d love to stay with the ground game and get it moving, but then the score got different where we had abandoned it,\u201d Fleck said. For Purdue the Boilermakers captured their second consecutive victory with their most complete game this season. Purdue scored on all six red zone possessions and did commit a turnover. Minnesota Hosts No. 20 Iowa on October 24th while Purdue Hosts Washington on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taylor University Football Caps Homecoming Weekend with a Rout of SMW<\/strong> Taylor\u2019s Homecoming Weekend came to a close with an emphatic, 52-14, win over Saint Mary of the Woods in front of an overflow crowd inside Turner Stadium. The Trojans piled up 492 total yards of offense with 259 through the air and 233 on the ground. The TU defense limited SMW (0-5) to 222 total yards and collected four takeaways, as it lowered its scoring average against to 16.0 points per game over its last four outings. Samuel Ringer led the charge with his finest game with the Purple and Gray. The linebacker posted 10 tackles, one sack, three tackles for a loss and one forced fumble, while Maverick Brown also added 10 hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David Worlds, Owen Folta and Preston Bannister each hauled in one interception, with Worlds also forcing a fumble and breaking up two passes. Folta returned his interception for an 85-yard, game-changing, touchdown and finished with five tackles. Brady Trebley excelled off the bench for Taylor, sparking the offense with 11 completions in 16 pass attempts for 246 yards and a trio of touchdowns. Nathan Munson ended with 106 receiving yards and one score, with JJ Payne posting 98 yards and one score and Kyle Stratton also catching one touchdown pass. The TU ground game was led by 99 yards and one score from Jedidiah Galvin and a pair of scores from Evan Barker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sloppy first half that saw a trio of combined turnovers was salvaged by Folta\u2019s pick-six with zeroes showing on the clock. With one second left in the half, Folta intercepted SMW\u2019s final pass attempt on Taylor\u2019s 15-yard line and took it to the house to push the Trojans to a 24-14 lead at the break. It was all Taylor over the final 30 minutes of the contest, as TU cleaned things up and outscored the Pomeroys by a 21-0 margin in the third quarter and held the guests to 72 yards of offense in the second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trebley connected with Munson for a 91-yard strike for the third touchdown of the period, with Munson evading two SMW defenders and galloping down the visiting sideline to push the lead to 45-14. The Trojans added a fourth-quarter score to close the game on a 35-0 burst following the Folta pick and cruised to the 38-point win for head coach Aaron Mingo\u2019s 30th head coaching victory with the Purple and Gray. RV Taylor (3-2) will open MSFA Mideast League play on October 17, when it hosts Lawrence Tech (3-3) in a 1:00 pm start inside Turner Stadium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
